Bay Area Ca. June 23, 2008- Two-time world champion, Robert "The Ghost" Guerrero (22-1-1, 15 KO's) has made the decision to vacate his IBF Featherweight title and move up to Jr. Lightweight. The decision came about as Guerrero, who stands at 5'8 ½, struggled to make weight in his last two championships bouts...

Good decision from him.
I knew he was a big feather but that still is a surprise to me, I thought they were possibly building towards Guerrero-Linares. He's entering 130 at the right time though to make his mark, seeing as Pac, JMM, Guzman are all moving up, he doesn't beat any of those guys so he's got a better chance now.
Guerrero-Linares would be a superfight at 130.
Definately a good decision if he was struggling to make weight, but even with all of the talent moving from 130 to 135, 130 still has some great matches to be made.
Never been a fan of the Ghost.
He looks sloppy to me and just average fighter for my likings I really don't see nothing special there.
He looked really bad agains "El Platano" Diaz the 1st time around.
Diaz despite loosing round 1 and being down put on a beating in the following rounds and was making Guerrero look bad. But Guerrero dug deep and got the TKO which he should be applauded for.
You and I and everyone should know that the Salido fight should be overturned back to the original result which is UD for Salido. He flat out outboxed Guerrero. I gotta give him credit for 1 round destruction of Honorio that was solid.
Still I can only envision him beating a couple of the top guys at Sup. Feather... Arthur, Baloyi.
Rocky Juarez fight would REALLY be interesting to see for me.
